We have innate immune responses and adaptive. Adaptive being b cells creating antibodies. Innate being t cells and NKC that usually wipe out a lot of lesser diseases and such that we never really know we had them.
It's been a while since immunology and virology, but IIRC, even when you use the innate response and don't need the antibodies, you develop some memory b cells that will help with future infections of a recognized antigen.
Again, it's been a while so I may be off ther.
